Where'd it go?

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

I think that's what happened.

A few people asked for information on where to send cards and our dear "Paula" got scared and deleted it.

*sigh*

I felt the same way, but I can't apologize for my feelings and my instincts. I feel what I feel and nothing can change that. However, any PTers here were burned last time they didn't want to jump to that conclusion about someone that was a close friend of many. And I've been burned in the past too and I've learned to trust my instincts and vibes more and more.

Again, God forbid anything like this actually happening to someone close to me... but I can't apologize for feeling this way. :/

I wasn't around during the time of Jessica, but someone referred to it sometime ago and I searched for it. So while I wasn't friends with Jessica, it did make me mad that someone would go to that extreme. And I did feel burned, but not directly.

And because I knew of the Jessica thing, it automatically reminded me of her.. UGGGHHH.

I just e-mailed her,i'm going to see if she replies back. Not right now but sometime soon though.

Paula,if you did what i think you did..hmmm...i dont know what to say.

[beeniesmom]

oh... she must be a very lonley person to make up stories about herself.
sheeshhhh

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

That's what bugs me. The fact that she posted right after I did about being beat and hit all the time, then like three days later, her and her family have never loved each other more.

This is all a freaking hoax, there's too much pointing TOWARD hoax than there is against it. Enough said.

Some people.

I honestly felt the same suspicion when I saw/posted on the thread. After that Jessica incidence, I find it hard to trust someone when the 'mom' comes and posts stuff like that. Honestly...even if I always blabbed about PT at home, if something like that happened to me (God forbid), NO ONE in my family would be posting on PT. I truly doubt it. They would be at the hospital WITH me. Weird, but something I've always suspected ever since her 'mom' signed up.

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Not surprising at all.

Some people honestly need lives if they're forced to come to an internet message board and seek attention like this.

Very sad.

[popcornbird]

You know what really bothers me? There are so many PT'ers here that have genuinely gone through tragic times, and NEEDED our prayers, love, and sympathy. To make up something FAKE like that is a shame...and its like the person doing it just wants 'sympathy', which is unjustified, because such a person doesn't NEED sympathy. Those that deserve our prayers are those that TRULY need them. We don't need fakers to take prayers away from PT'ers that genuinely need them. If Paula was really hurt, and this was really her mom, the thread would not have been deleted. Neither Karen nor Paul would delete such a thread. The fact that it was DELETED is enough proof for me that something is very, very wrong. We don't need to waste our emotions on people who don't need them. Liars shouldn't get our love, prayers, and sympathy. I too believed Jessica at the beginning, but not this time. I have always felt strange about Lexi Lover...from the very beginning. Something was just not right. Her posts didn't feel genuine to me. I'm not saying they weren't, but it just seemed that way. Overly excited posts seem fake to me...always. This is the EXACT reason I have somewhat SADLY, lost interest in PT. I just feel like I can't trust anyone besides the long time members that we ALL know, or those that I personally have come to know deeply.

Sad that anyone would need to do this. Get a life...please.

I, too, have lost a bit of intrest in Pet Talk. Too many immature kids wanting attention. I agree with PCB to a tee.

The way I feel right now, "Paula" doesn't even deserve to be forgiven. In no way has she deserved respect here. I hope she realizes what a mistake she has made.

[Desert Arabian]

Darn it! I completely missed it! Oh well. At least she didn't break her foot after falling of "her horse".

(edited, I said "arm" instead of "foot")

Lol.

Were you around when Jessica was here? It was basically a re-enactment of that. Nothing you really missed...

[K9soul]

I was fooled once by someone awhile back and I've been quite cautious in simply believing everything I read since. I've felt some doubts since the incident with "Country," which happened conveniently after people questioned if Country existed. I have suspected for awhile, with many of the quite dramatic threads mimicking things that have happened to others, i.e. Lexi's tail hurt after Kiara's tail was hurt, Lexi getting bloat after Dale got it, the abuse thread mentioned and so on.

Paula, if you are reading this and things are the way they appear, I realize you are most likely wanting more than anything to feel loved and cared about, but you would have been without creating stories like this. You've always seemed to want so badly to be liked and be a part of things, and I understand your need. I just don't know what to say though at this point, when you destroy people's trust it is very very difficult to regain it. I know you must be very sad and alone. I hope though, that you can be brave enough to come clean with everyone.

[Desert Arabian]

Yeah, I remember that whole thing, pathetic beyond words..just like this AND the horse bullpoo.

[kittycats_delight]

I know everyone is convinced this was Paula looking for attention and then running scared but what if she is really hurt? I mean if she was really living in an abusive situation no one is going to say that is how she got injured. I asked to know the hospital she was in and if in fact she was injured due to abuse then that would very well be a reason to delete that thread. There would be no way to cover it up if I were to go there and see her firsthand. I am not saying for certain it was not fabricated but it could just as likely be true as it could be false. If this had happened to one of us and for some reason we all started to believe it was all a lie and came back to find everyone had turned against us how would we feel. I can't take the chance no matter how small that she is being truthful and will come back after something like what supposedly happened to see everyone she thought was her friends turn against her especially if this was abuse related. If she really is injured she will need our support. I just think we need to give her the benefit of the doubt and wait and see. I wouldn't want to be in her shoes right now if all this is true and I wouldn't want to be in her shoes when she found out all her friends her turned on her so quickly without real proof. Give her a chance. I just can't imagine being in that situation.
